About the Provider

Description: Caring for a child is a privilege & a responsibility.
Each child is unique & has infinite potential. We must create an environment that respects the needs of every child & offers an atmosphere that makes a child feel safe, secure, loved & encourages learning.
It is now widely accepted that the entire foundation of what we learn & how we learn it is determined before the age of six. Therefore 'good beginnings never end' & as such it is our responsibility to ensure that we offer a program that is constantly challenging & yet allows a child to be a child, so that they enjoy learning.
Quality child care is only possible when parents & teachers work together to address the individual needs of every child & yet create an environment that offers every child the many benefits, of a group experience.
Childhood should be a journey, not a race.
We must show every child respect.
Cooperation & understanding between parents & staff is essential for our success. Your comments, suggestions, questions and concerns are always important & welcome. We maintain an open door policy which means that you may visit whenever you wish and, of course, you are welcome to call us as & when you like. Staff will share with you many anecdotes and much information about your child’s day. Similarly, parents are requested to share any circumstances about the child’s home life which may affect his/her day.

OK - safe, some good staff, approachable director. Class sizes are too big and not individualized. Attempts to be a preschool, but fails. Heard later that "upstairs" classes are pretty good, but it is the "downstairs" (2s/3s) classes that are not great. There is a big staff turnover, and I was not impressed that teachers changed through the year without any notification to parents. My son kept asking where one of his teachers was. Finally we discovered she had left. Nobody told us for about a month!
